Anyone use grad ND in photoshop vs filter?

For landscape photos, instead of using a Graduated ND filter, does anyone use/prefer Photoshop for the same effect?

I've been using PS, but wanted to know if an actual Grad ND filter will give a noticeably different result. Opinions?

The only reason I use a ND filter, is if I wanna lose a stop .. or two.
I find that most color saturations can be done in PS .. to an extent!

The only reason I keep a ND on my 80-400 is .. well, it came with it and it mostly
just protects the front element .. lol!

Very rare that I shoot into a glaring ocean, or reflective surface like a window,
I use it mostly to lose a couple of stops period.

It sounds more like you are talking about a CP than a ND filter. The ND doesn't reduce glare.
